Besides, wouldn’t it be too easy for Concubine Zhao to die like this?
Seeing this scene, the Queen Mother did not dare to say a word for Concubine Zhao.
The emperor's gloomy eyes suddenly narrowed, and the hand that was pinching Concubine Zhao's neck exerted force suddenly, and the latter was thrown to the ground by him.
Even though Concubine Zhao was not frail, she was thrown there by the huge force and could not move for a long time.
It was as if he had fallen and fainted!
Then, the emperor opened the door and left without looking back. In a voice so cold it chilled his bones, he ordered the queen, "I leave this matter to you! If you can't find the adulterer, you don't need to come to see me anymore!"
"I obey your order and respectfully send you off." The Queen clasped her hands and bowed, her emotions stable. But in her heart, she had already cursed the dog emperor's eight generations of ancestors!
A ruthless, selfish and conceited man!
Fortunately, she has no feelings for him, otherwise she would have been pissed off by him countless times.
…
In the Yuntai Palace.
As the sun gets hotter, everyone's inner anxiety is like the earth being scorched by the sun.
The emperor and empress went to Shoukang Palace, but left the eldest prince, the second prince and Concubine Ruan behind.
Jiang Ying couldn't bear to see the children suffer, and the wound from Concubine Chen's episiotomy was a little torn and bleeding, so he first gave the eldest prince some antipyretic medicine, and then readjusted the sutures for Concubine Chen. Then he prescribed a dose of medicine for each of them, and asked the servants to boil it and coax the eldest and second princes to drink it.
Seeing this, Concubine Ruan's attitude became much better.
She felt embarrassed, so she asked the second prince, who was in better spirits, to bring her a box containing some rewards.
Jiang Ying is not short of money now, but he is a little uncomfortable with Concubine Ruan's strange face-changing behavior.
In the end, she accepted it, but immediately gave it to Siyu, smilingly saying to Concubine Ruan, "My maidservant will be engaged soon. It's a blessing for her that Concubine Ruan can help her with her beauties. Siyu, why don't you thank the Concubine?"
Siyu knew that Jiang Ying was being funny, and she immediately bowed happily to express her gratitude.
But Concubine Ruan was very angry!
But Jiang Ying had just treated her son and was a guest of Concubine Chen. Even the emperor and empress were polite to Jiang Ying. What could she do even if she was angry?
Not long after, Jiang Ying and his family of three walked straight out of the palace.
Yes, they did not wait for Concubine Zhao’s fate to be decided. After all, it was a scandal in the palace, so the less they got involved, the better!
…
The queen originally thought it would be easy to find the adulterer.
However, after searching the entire palace, including the officials who frequently entered the palace, no one was found to have six fingers.
Later, they checked three generations up and down, but still couldn't find it.
She was puzzled. Could it be that what Princess Mo said was inaccurate?
Liu Qin subconsciously followed suit, and her eyes suddenly lit up while she was grinding ink. "My Lady, could it be that someone has six fingers, but was afraid of being laughed at, so he secretly cut them off?"
"Cut off your fingers?" Anyone who can do such a cruel thing to himself is not an ordinary person.
The Queen fell into deep thought, "Then it will be even more difficult to find it."
Isn't it true? Liu Qin is the Queen's confidant, so she would naturally be happy to see Concubine Zhao brought down.
But the emperor just handed over the troublesome task of catching the adulterer to his own master without any hesitation. He has really reached a certain level of being a hands-off boss!
If you can't find the key, you will be punished.
The master and servant were thinking hard, and the atmosphere in the entire Kunning Palace was very solemn. Fortunately, the queen had been in charge of the harem for many years and had some experience. She ordered the investigation to start with the people that Concubine Zhao had the most contact with in daily life.
Previously, I only focused on the characteristic of six fingers, thinking it would be easy to find, but I overlooked the fact that Zhao Pin, as a palace concubine, had limited contact with people.
Most of the people in the palace were eunuchs.
Of course, even the eunuch queen did not take it lightly, and she adhered to the principle of investigating all the men that Concubine Zhao had spoken to and met.
Finally, the efforts paid off. After just a few days, they found the cause of the problem, a younger but not very experienced doctor in the Imperial Hospital.
After confirming that there was something wrong between him and Concubine Zhao, the Queen did not hesitate at all and found an excuse to summon him to Kunning Palace.
He then invited the emperor to come and used the same trick again, trying the defendant in front of him to prevent him from suspecting that he had bribed or colluded with him to frame him.
Let's all pretend that the Angry Dragon Emperor behind the screen doesn't exist...
Liu Qin went forward to check and found that there was indeed a scar next to the little finger of Lin Qinfeng's left hand. Although the mark was very faint, if you didn't look carefully, you couldn't tell where the scar came from.
But they already have some evidence, and it is almost impossible that they have wrongly accused Lin Qinfeng!
The Queen looked down at him with a calm and confident tone, "Doctor Lin, I heard that you are originally from Jinzhou?"
The incident involving Concubine Zhao was not made public in the palace, and was even kept secret very well without any word leaking out. So Lin Qinfeng was feeling very nervous at the moment, but he had no idea what had happened.
However, he had never been the Queen's personal physician, so he had a bad feeling.
However, as a mere sixth-rank imperial physician, Lin Qinfeng didn't dare to refuse the Queen's question. He simply lowered his head and whispered, "Your Majesty, I did live in Jinzhou for a short time, but my ancestral home is Xiyuan, Shandong, not a true Jinzhou native."
The queen smiled slightly when she heard this. What a cunning man! Did he have a premonition so quickly?
But this just proves that he is guilty!
The queen glanced at the back hall imperceptibly and continued to talk calmly as if she was chatting about family matters.
"Xiyuan? It's a beautiful place with many talented people. Many officials in the imperial court came from Xiyuan. They studied hard for ten years, passed the imperial examinations, and served the emperor. I see that Lord Lin is the same. He worked hard to get into the Imperial Hospital, starting as a medicine boy and working until today. It's been seven years, right?"
Lin Qinfeng didn't dare look at the Queen, and nodded, "Yes."
